  + stars: | 2023-01-19 | by ( Steve Beynon | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The US Army is changing the name of its new rifle after accidentally taking a name from another gun.

Soldiers will also use 20-round magazines, a 10-round decrease from the magazines the Army has been using for decades.
